Rachel grew up in rural, small-town Alabama. Her writing grew from an exploration of the culture and the hidden nuances of that culture. She began writing at around the age of 11. Rachel’s escapism as a child grew her imagination and her spirit. Her imagination helped her survive.

Having lived in North Carolina since 2007, she has helped raise three kids, worked in several fields, and had her adventures in life. She uses her own experiences and the settings familiar to her to create stories to write about; both fiction and non-fiction. 

Rachel Adams writes multi-genre fiction and always adds supernatural, occult, gothic, and paranormal elements to her work. She loves non-standard relationships and diversity among the cultures of the characters she comes up with. She gets her love of these creative themes from her desire to break away from the oppression she has witnessed.

Rachel D. Adams and Dawn McClellan have been writing urban fantasy and fantasy stories together for decades! Meeting on the very first internet forums, groups, and clubs, they became fast-friends and collaborators. Together, they’ve written original fantasy, urban fantasy, sci-fi, and fan fiction together and with other hobby writers. They love writing all kinds of diverse characters, allowing those characters to drive the plots, while keeping true to their cultures. They began publishing their stories in 2021 thanks to some pushing from their family and friends.

Dawn McClellan was born and raised in South Texas. She wrangles her career in the medical field, writing, and being a mother, wife, and grandmother. Her inspiration comes from people in her life, especially powerful matriarchs and wicked, but loving and loyal men.

Enamored of the macabre, Dawn loves to read, write, explore the country life and explore history’s secrets. When not working on her writing, Dawn also loves to spend time with her grandbabies. She finds peace in the small moments, be it reading a book with them, playing in the park, roaming museums, or enjoying a homemade country breakfast.
